Control Protocols
AMI/Pioneer Control Protocol
For specific information about
the RS-232 and Ethernet
interfaces, refer to the
Controlling the Binloop
section of this manual.
This protocol inherits its name
from the fact that it closely
resembles the popular Pioneer
protocol used throughout the
A/V industry.
The AMI/Pioneer protocol commands listed in this section are available
for use on both the RS-232
Show Control port and the Ethernet port of
the Binloop. This section discusses the most commonly used
commands in detail.
The protocol is ASCII-based. Upper or lower case characters can be
used interchangeably.
All commands and responses are terminated
with the Carriage Return character. This character is represented
by the hexadecimal value 0x0D.
